What a great opportunity for the leaders in Chappaqua to get a real understanding of how commuters use the station at New Castle, their parking times, and distances traveled. They could establish a methodology that could be followed by other North East mass transit parking facilities which would determine actual charging requirements. It is always a shame to see knee jerk level 2 charging stations being installed, with their much higher cost, where level 1 would suffice. Why install 10 level 2 charging stations that would remain idle after 4 hours of charging with a vehicle occupying the space. If the driving and charging habits indicate less station charging is required, perhaps installing a mix of fewer level 2 and twice as many level 1 outlets would make more sense. It would be nice to know that someone at least considered the situation before spending. View Comment
